What would have to happen to reduce the world's population to 500 million?
There are currently 8,045,311,447 (8bn) people in the world (including China's current population of almost 1.5bn) . What has to happen to reduce this number to the 500m written on the Georgia Guidestones?

Ha. A very interesting question.
I'd guess a combo of war, famine, supply chain and energy grid collapse, disease (real pandemics like cholera and tuberculosis caused by a severe breakdown in infrastructure, including lack of clean water and medical facilities), and maybe a major solar event thrown in as well.
And factored into all of that is the weakening of the human immune system in maybe several billion people, with birth defects and infertility added to the mix.
If we consider all this as a wildlife biologist might, looking at (e.g.) fluctuating populations of deer or rabbits or mice, it's part of the natural cycle that an apparently thriving population can shrink quickly and significantly once a few of the balancing factors suddenly go right out of whack.
Humans are just sophisticated animals, subject to the same issues — but in some ways much more vulnerable now than they were even a few hundred years ago. We always need to remember that our current civilization, just one of dozens that have risen and then fallen in the past, has absolutely no divine right to exist forever in its current form.

As of this day and time in 2023, India’s population is 1,429,483,014 and rising every 2 seconds by 1 more person. India’s population is greater than that of China. Yet, India has a fraction of the land mass to put its people.
Since I started this post, India has 160 more people. Source www.Worldometers.info.
It’s going to take one hell of a series of calamities, man-made and otherwise, to get the world’s population to 500,000,000.
Just saying.

As well as all the things Bill mentioned above we would have to assume that decreasing the population by such a drastic amount would be sinister in nature.
- Legislation that outlaws having any children. Young families are already afraid to bring children into the world because of the false threat of "Climate Change." Many people would openly and eagerly accept this legislation.
- Legislation that would only allow for one child per family
- Forcing young people into cities would make it prohibitively expensive for young families to have children.
- Outrageous worldwide inflation making housing and food prices too high for most families
- Keeping wages low and prices high would destroy families.
- Destroy the elementary and middle public (government) school system and prevent minorities from any type of school choice.
- Make universities indoctrination camps would discourage prospective parents.
- Abortion clinics on every corner and payment by the government
- Worldwide emigration.
Much of the above list looks and sounds very familiar

True, but a lot of China is sparsely inhabited, and they dis-incentivize rapid growth.
The two places are superficially similar, and also like Iran, if we look for the last time they tried to attack/invade somewhere beyond their present boundaries, it has been centuries.
As far as the total population, I believe it took until about 1800 for the human species to amount to one billion. That, perhaps, is like an "unassisted" population cap, i. e. without rapid transport and cheap energy and so forth, they either cannot breed that much, or mortality is too high for it to ramp up.
I think the Georgia Guidestones are about as useful as a miniature golf course, which is where they belong.
That is not to say there are not some who believe in a "depopulation agenda", just means they believe in it, not that they can do anything (unless someone else does it for them).
Nuclear strikes on all the defenseless countries would do it. Russia would be mostly intact, and there could be a few pockets of survivors, amounting to perhaps 500 million overall.

(The first part of the video is an appeal for funds to finish the documentary that the Epoch Times is making about the NWO's depopulation plan/ plan to enslave the remaining population via food shortages, poisoning humanity via eating insects, forcing people into "smart cities" etc.
The rest of the video is comprised of talks from various expert forum members who go into more detail exposing the globalists' inhumane agenda and how it is manifesting around the world.
It ends with a photo of a 2021 news story from Politico about how Washington is taking action to stop China from buying up farm lands in the US:

...so I imagine the Epoch Times documentary will be going into the most recent developments on that score. )

There will be similar problems even if we were 1000 people. Until year 1600 there were less than 500 million people, what happened then?! Wars, conflicts, greed, fight for power, for territory.
That's why humanity need to understand that, to live in peace and harmony, must first be aware of the consequences of every action. Things need to be understood to it's core, not superficially, like this fake equality that is heavily promoted.
People need to understand that there are degrees even in a small group. The Creator has created everything in ranks. It's not the same someone wise and someone ignorant, nor someone who works hard and a lazy one, nor someone who sacrifices things for a higher purpose and someone who follow it's desires. Even if in appearance they look the same, they are spiritually in different ranks.

Maybe a large part of the answers can already be found on this Project Avalon Forum Thread :Avalon: ... see:

Re: What would have to happen to reduce the world's population to 500 million?
Many of the things mentioned could and would do it, but I think the big one will be famine.
The climate has gone nuts, there's no denying that. Sooner or later that's going to have an impact on crop yields. One wonders what this summer has already done to them in parts of Europe with the triple-digit temperatures and wildfires.
We know for example that most of the UK's food is imported. When those imports fail to arrive there's going to be shortages. Then prices will skyrocket. People are already suffering trying to make ends meet as it is. The scarcity of food will be the first domino to fall -- and that's in one First World nation. It be the same for all the others. God only knows about the Third World. But I fear for all those kids being born right now in India, a new one for every word I type. Many will not see their tenth birthday. Maybe not even their third.
And regarding the Georgia Guidestones -- a worthy (and interesting) conversation by itself. However they no longer exist. They were destroyed last year-
The Georgia Guidestones have been blown up

Ok so its the usual 4 suspects riding a horse, War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death.
But we can resist many of these horrors with the right mindset. Some who have practised fasting know that we can go for long periods without food but many people will riot and turn to cannibalism in no time.
So an important factor is how we rise to the challenge of life and increasingly people are not rising to this challenge and walking in the shadow of death.
